The name semla is a loan word from German Semmel, originally deriving from the Latin simila, meaning 'flour', itself a borrowing from Greek σεμίδαλις (semidalis), "groats", which was the name used for the finest quality wheat flour or semolina.
@@derimmerlugt3032 What do you mean? Semla is ancient and the base for many of our modern day flour based foods. Examples such as the Hamburger Bun and Italian Biscotti wouldn't exist without it.
I'm from Denmark and worked a couple of years in Sweden and they make it with quite a hard/though bun, it's not soft and more bread like. The filling makes it sweeter, but it's still a strange combination. It reminds me more of a bagel actually. The Danish fastelavnsbolle is much more soft, same goes for the German Berliner or similarities.
With all that whipped cream, the king probably had a heart attack. He did eat 14 of them. I never heard of semlas. There are a few Swedish bakeries in Chicago, I will have to try it.
Semlor back then didn't contain whipped cream, just almond filling. They were instead boiled in very fat milk. The current theory - as pointed out in the video- is that he died of a stroke immediately after finisheng his dinner. However, when they performed an autopsy on him his entire stomach was filled to bursting with mostly undigested food so there is also a possibility that he died of a ruptured stomach or (as you said) a heart attack. History fact: Apart from eating himself to death, King Adolf-Fredrik is also known as the laziest king of Sweden. He didn't enjoy being king at all and therefore handed over all power to his ministers. They had a stamp made up with his signature so that they could pass laws and bills without him even being present. Because of this, the country ran far smoother and more efficient than almost ever before. Either way, a semla is absolutely delicious. I doesn't matter if you eat them in their modern iteration or the traditional way. They are heavenly. You should defenitely try them.
it must be strange living a life where no one can tell you no. you'd have to develop your own self control...or have no control at all. (i guess that's why people ended up having their heads chopped off)
What's the sweet or pastry you can't resist? 😉
Semla… I’m a bit biased. 😏 But also cannoli from Sicily and Levantine sweets, such as Halawet el-jeben.
Danish pastry has some good ones like kanelstang (cinamonstik) that is way better than the Semla.

That's actually not true at all... Semolina and Semmel actually derives from the Swedish pastry called Semla.

This pastry looks really good.😋😋😋
This is a simple yet fantastic pastry.
We have the same in Norway, but its usually with cream and jam. We call it fastelavnsbolle since we eat it at Fastelavn. (Fasten abend)

we are going to die in the end, eating too much semla is only one way out of thousand ways to die, so don't blame it on the food 😂
I was hoping it was frosting , not whipped cream
Got to try it one day!
عرض ادب
بسیار عالی؛ طعمش را می توان براحتی احساس کرد
Having this after having Eisbein is dang good comfort guilty pleasure..
I like the chef,😊
You are actually not supposed to put that much wiped cream on them, they should look a bit more squat.
mmm whipped cream is so simple but wonderful 🙂
"we eat as much as we can......and try to stay alive" that's right
Semla didn't kill the King. His lack of control did, hence the indigestion. 😂
Abdolutely..😊
Wait.... you dont have to dig out the middle before adding almond paste?
Most do. This particular semla is fancy.
...is that Iskall85 at :33 ?
Reminds me of Paris brest . Looks so good
If it is good enough for a king...
it must be strange living a life where no one can tell you no. you'd have to develop your own self control...or have no control at all. (i guess that's why people ended up having their heads chopped off)
your majesty have another....it's wafer thin! 🙂
Som svensk och stockholmare, semla . . Föredrar Napoleon alt Budapest stubbe.
Mother Carmel died for this
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️😍😍😍
14 Semla ?! 😂😂😂
Almonds 🤔 no one thought that it might be cyanide?
Isn't that mostly an issue with bitter almonds, not so much sweet almonds?
Swedish zemmel
This must have been produced in Germany - no royalities so obsessed with them
